Leviticus (19:17)
You shall not hate your brother in your heart; you shall reason with your neighbor, and not allow sin on his account.

ספר ויקרא פרק יט
לֹא תִשְׂנָא אֶת אָחִיךָ בִּלְבָבֶךָ הוֹכֵחַ תּוֹכִיחַ אֶת עֲמִיתֶךָ וְלֹא תִשָּׂא עָלָיו חֵטְא

Taming Korach was born out of response to censorship by anti-Israel elements in the electronic media, the blog was founded as a means for Torah Jews to respond to incorrect and misleading statements about Judaism, Jews, and Israel.
____________________
Taming Korach is committed to debunking the false claims of Jews against Judaism who use their identities as weapons against Torah Judaism, the Jewish National Homeland, and those of us who care about both.

We hope to provide the intellectual tools to fight intellectuals!

If I am I because you are you and you are you because I am I, then I am not I and you are not you. But if I am I because I am I, and you are you because you are you, then I am I and you are you.

אם אני אני כי אתה אתה, ואתה אתה כי אני אני, אז אני לא אני ואתה לא אתה. אבל אם אני אני כי אני אני, ואתה אתה כי אתה אתה, אז אני אני ואתה אתה

Here are some of my consistent detractors:

"...who wants to mess with a bunch of crazy Asian generals?"

"But then a piece of work like Justin comes along…"

"On my first visit about a decade ago, my only memory is of one of my dining companions ordering a whole crab. I will not forget the delighted sounds “yum!” and ‘ummm!’ she emited as she cracked her way through this crustacean. Her hands were messy, her napkin full of crab remnants, but she was one happy human being."

"You seem to have this superficial, ritualistic view of Judaism within any concept of its depth and inner soul."

"Put up or shut up, as you told me. I'll be coming to Jerusalem next week to kick your...ass, and agree to this as a man and shut the f**k up."

"I'll write you as long as I feel like it f**face.
and I don't give a f**k about your nerd/blog which apart from you and your Mom and a few other fascist closet homosexuals might read. you even tried to get me in on it, "please read my pathetic little blog". haha"

"You are full of hate against the Ashkenazim and you have no reason for it since you are only a f*****g convert."

"It was because of people like you and (Rav) Ovadia that people started to hate Jews."

Baby-Sitting Israel’s Artists

A section of Israel’s liberal-leaning (אנשי רוח) artists are now in a tissy over the territories. These are the same people who would never “entertain” the thought of Tel Aviv or the “Gush Dan” area being surrendered in any kind of “peace deal.” However, they insist on impugning the rights of their fellow Israeli [...]

Israel, Diaspora Jews not equal partners by Isi Leibler

Israel, Diaspora Jews not equal partners

We have grown accustomed to the ravings of the Jew haters of Zion – the loony left who identify with Hamas and Hizbullah rather than their own people, the post-Zionists who seek to undo the Jewish character of Israel and the bleeding heart liberals who make excuses [...]

koshertorah.com A Must Visit!

I recently came across a Torah site that, I think is unlike any other. I am profoundly impressed by the quality of the essays that HaRav Ariel Bar Tzadok has written. In particular, I read Identifying Shiloh The Secret Soul of the Mashiah, and was stunned by the insights and quality of his writing. [...]

Why Some Israeli Liberals Lose Perspective by Isi Leibler

Why some Israeli liberals lose perspective Posted by Isi Leibler on June 17th, 2010

It is surely ironic that simultaneously with the emergence of a broad consensus endorsing a centrist position and the marginalization of extremist left- and right-wing factions, a number of Israeli intellectuals – mainly writers and academics – are intensifying their [...]

Michael Lerner: Self-Promoting At Our Expense

It’s one thing that Michael Lerner has stolen the title of “Rabbi” (which he is not). Now the pseudo-leader of the “Jewish” far-left is “protesting” on behalf of the Flotilla terrorists who were beating Israeli soldiers! The Jerusalem Post quotes Lerner as having said:

The overwhelming majority of American Jews are saddened at the [...]
